Yeah good observation. Contrast what Rocker said to this punk. Basically Rocker expressed that he wasn't comfortable with the New York scene. He never advocated violence but basically said I don't like it. Really he said nothing more than a liberal would say about going down to a Bible Belt area and expressing contempt for the lack of progressive values. I find it amazing this high regard held by the liberals for the artist. In the Hindu religions the artist class is not considered a philosopher or wise one. They are part of the Sudra class, which is the lowest cast and includes the musician, painter, carpenter, plumber etc. The media loves to ask these idiots what they think, as if the mind of some person hopped up on some drug is capable of guiding society to a better place. As much as I loved the Beatles it was clear that "All you need is love" couldn't keep them together as a band nor prevent them from hating each other at times. It was this that ultimately made me quit music, as I became sick of musicians who sang about the evil world but were just as bad or even worse than the people they condemned .
